Landscape Architecture and Digital Technologies explores how digital technologies are reshaping design and making in landscape architecture‎.‎ While the potentials of digital technologies are well documented within landscape planning and visualisation‎,‎ their application within design practice is far less understood‎.‎ This book highlights the role of the digital model in encouraging a new design logic that moves from the privileging of the visual to a focus on processes of formation‎,‎ bridging the interface of the conceptual and material‎,‎ the virtual and the physical‎.‎

Drawing on interviews and projects from a range of international designers ‎-including ‎,‎ Snohetta‎,‎ Arup‎,‎ Gustafson Porter‎,‎ ASPECT Studios‎,‎ Grant Associates‎,‎ Catherine Mosbach‎,‎ Philippe Rahm‎,‎ PARKKIM‎,‎ LAAC and PEG office of landscape + architecture among others‎,‎ the authors explore the influence of parametric modelling‎,‎ scripting‎,‎ real‎-time data‎,‎ simulation‎,‎ prototyping‎,‎ fabrication‎,‎ and Building Information Modelling on the design and construction of contemporary landscapes‎.‎ This engagement with practice is expanded through critical reflection from academi‎.‎‎.‎‎.‎
